How to store dried beans?

Dried beans will stay fresh longer when stored in a cool, dark place. Additionally, if the exposure to oxygen can be limited, the shelf life will be prolonged, as well. So while this product will stay fresh for a year or more inside of a food grade polyethylene bag, it can stay fresh for more than 10 years if packaged in a can or plastic bag that’s fully sealed with the oxygen removed.

How to cook dried beans?

Before you can cook dried beans, they must first be soaked. Then you can put them in a large pot with fresh water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer until the beans are tender.

How long to soak dry beans before cooking?

There are two methods you can use to soak dried beans: a traditional overnight soak or a hot soak. The first method is as simple as covering the beans with cold water and letting them sit in the refrigerator overnight. The hot soak option simply requires that the beans be boiled for about 3 minutes, removed from the heat, and then soaked in the hot water for 1-3 hours.

Why do you have to soak dry beans?

Soaking dried beans before cooking decreases the cooking time and makes the beans more digestible. While it’s possible to eat dried beans that have been cooked without soaking first, they become easier to work with and more satisfying to eat if they’ve been properly soaked.
